5:19 Move a Project Between Workspaces 5 min Videos Engineering Managers Electrical Engineers PCB Design Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers This video demonstrates two processes to move a project from one workspace into another. The first method begins in Altium Designer by opening a project, unlinking the git folder, turning off the synchronization, and making it available online. However, this method does not include the project history. The second method also begins in Altium Designer, within the workspace. In this method, the user manually unlinks the project in notepad by removing the managed folder. Then, a fake version control system is created using the Tortoise Git Tool. The changes are pushed to the local version control and the project is made available online and migrated to the workspace version control. Read Article
4:22 Relink Design Components to Managed Components 5 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers This video demonstrates how unmanaged projects can use managed components, even when a user is offline and using a local machine. In order to link this local project to an Altium 365 Workspace and integrate the resources of Altium 365 into this project, open tools and then the Item Manager. The Item Manager will scan the design and load any components within the design, showing that they are unmanaged. To relink these components located in the local library to the Altium 365 components, click auto match to match each component. If any components fail to match, users can select and navigate to the individual components and manually match them. Then, an ACL and ECO are generated, the changes are executed, and the components are updated. After this is completed, all of the components are updated to the latest revision. Configure the parameters "Visible on Add" by selecting enable for the "PackageCase" parameter and click okay. Refresh the screen and choose a component within the capacitors folder and place it. Now the case size is visible for that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Read Article
1:14 Configure Visibility of Parameters on Components 2 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers This video demonstrates how to enable parameters when placing a component. The first step is to open the Explorer Panel, and within components, open the capacitors folder and right click for properties. Configure the parameters "Visible on Add" by selecting enable for the "PackageCase" parameter and click okay. Refresh the screen and choose a component within the capacitors folder and place it. Now the case size is visible for that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Read Article
